This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:

THE QUICK FACTS

• The National People's Congress of China introduced new national security legislation that aims to prevent and punish antigovernment protests and dissent in Hong Kong.
• In recent decades, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has governed Hong Kong under the "one country, two systems" constitutional principle. This system grants Hong Kong the autonomy to define its own economic, legal, and administrative systems, in contrast to mainland China's "communism with Chinese characteristics" system.
• UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged to admit 3 million Hong Kong citizens to the United Kingdom if China formally adopts this national security law.
